    What an incredible anthology album highlighting some of their work in their extensive discography. Yet to Come is nostalgic and hopeful, Run BTS makes you want to dance, and For Youth is like a love letter to the fans who have supported them.

    BTS is artistry in action. Every song they write/produce has themselves written into their music. They express themselves with heartful intentions and lay it all on the table. The little hints to philosophy also play into their artistry. The way their music speaks about mental health or youthful feelings is so relevant to what fans are going through now.

The album contains 3 CDs covering hit singles, tracks personally chosen by the members, unreleased demos, and a new song dedicated fully to their to their beloved and cherished fans (“For Youth”).

    Every single new track is so unique, their range is truly mindblowing. I don't know how BTS keep levelling up with every single release but they do, they really do. And this time they're actually admitting that their best is yet to come. This anthology is great for newer fans and casual listeners to understand their whole story and journey as artists and will make many appreciate thwir artistry.

    Excellent Album from start to finish. For people who are new to BTS this Anthology Album is perfect to get a glimpse of their music through the years.
    For ARMYs CD 3 is especially a little treasure. If you want to listen to CD 3 go and buy yourself a physical album because it isn't available online.

    Proof serves as a nostalgia trip for long-time fans of the septet and a summary introduction for the curious. With thirty old songs, three completely new tracks, and eleven new versions of well-loved classics, this album marks a satisfying closure to their first nine years as a group.

    For fans who were sucked in during the time of “Dynamite” or “Butter” and haven’t dug into their back catalogue just yet, they might be surprised to discover just how broad of a range these songs can stretch. ... Disc 3 is a whole different kind of time capsule: there are 11 unreleased demos, two brand new tracks (“Quotation Mark” and “For Youth”), and one previously-shelved track (“Young Love”) that peel back the curtain on BTS as artists like never before.
